As the tweet above states, Fisher was receiving interest from Ole Miss and new head coach Lane Kiffin:

“In the days preceding college football’s early signing date on Dec. 18, new Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin offered Fisher a position on the staff of the Southeastern Conference program, the Journal Star also learned. It’s unclear whether other schools approached Fisher. But coaches who are targeted by other programs often benefit financially — especially ones who recruit at the level of Fisher.”

Fisher isn’t the only Nebraska assistant receiving a raise, according to Sipple’s report. Running backs coach Ryan Held is also seeing a salary bump, going from $300,000 to $400,000 in 2020.

Both Held and Fisher are partially known because of their recruiting efforts. The entire Nebraska 2020 recruiting class can be found here.
